  4. D \(147.5^{\circ}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(94.8^{\circ}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In gas phase \(\mathrm{H}-\mathrm{O}-\mathrm{O}-\mathrm{H}\) bond angle in \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{2}\) is \(\underline{94.8^{\circ}}\).

There are lone pairs on the surface of the gas phase. oxygen and to reduce the number of lone-pair-lone pairs. The binding angle was lowered from \(101.9^{\circ}\) to \(101.9^{\circ}\) due to repulsion. \(94.8^{\circ}\) (crystalline phase) (gas phase).
